[TSS] The Big List of Book Giveaways – Sept 13 Edition

In compiling this week’s list, I did not include any BBAW-related giveaways, so click here to check all the incredible books and other things that are up for grabs this coming week for BBAW!

If I’ve missed your book or book-related giveaway, as always, please feel free to add your link in the comments (and readers, please check the comments for additional giveaway links).

This giveaways round-up post is a regular feature here at MsBookish so if you’re holding a book giveaway, let me know and I’ll include your giveaway in my next giveaways round-up post.

As always, I’ve separated the giveaways according to genre, for your convenience. (If you like Fantasy, make sure you check under both the Fantasy and the YA Fiction headings). All links in this post open in a new tab or window (depending on how your browser is set up).

About

I'm a writer, avid reader, artist-at-heart & book indexer. I blog about writing, books, art, creativity, spirituality, & the power of the imagination. Oh, and I like to write stuff about life in general, too!

The purpose of being a serious writer is not to express oneself, and it is not to make something beautiful, though one might do those things anyway. Those things are beside the point.

“I didn’t write my books for posterity (not that posterity would have cared): I wrote them for myself. Which doesn’t mean I didn’t hunger for readers and fame. I never could have endured so much hard, solitary labor without the prospect of an audience. But this graveyard of dead books doesn’t unnerve me. It reminds me that I had a deeper motive, one that only the approach of old age and death has unlocked. I wrote to answer questions I had — the motive of all art, whatever its ostensible subject. There were things I urgently needed to know. ” James Atlas

“It’s the simple, inspiring idea that when members of different groups — even groups that historically dislike one another — interact in meaningful ways, trust and compassion bloom naturally as a result, and prejudice falls by the wayside.”

“We need to understand how refugees are different so that we don’t erase the specificity of their experience.”
